RANDOLPH-MACON 
COLLEGE 



Ashland is immediately on the Richmond, Fredericksburg and Potomac Railroad and the 
Electric Railway, thirty minutes' ride north of Richmond, upon the most elevated plateau between that 
city and Fredericksburg, Va. The location is distinguished for healthfulness and accessibility. On this 
account the town of Ashland was originally incorporated as a summer resort, and is much frequented during 
the heated term, while the comparative infrequency and the brief duration of severely cold weather make it 
especially favorable to health and comfort during the College session. There are no saloons in the town. 
Nine passenger trains each way stop at the College daily. Telegraph and telephone connections are had 
with all parts of the country. Mail six times a day. 

The Campus contains about twelve acres, beautified and shaded by a fine grove of oaks and maples. 
It has been thoroughly underdrained, gravel walks have been laid out, and many other improvements 
conducive to the comfort and convenience of the students have been made. 

The Buildings, besides professors' residences, are six dormitories, the Pace Lecture-Room Bmlding 
and Chemical Laboratories, the Duncan Memorial Chapel, the Library and Halls of the Literary Societies, the 
Gymnasium, and the Pettyjohn Hall of Science for lecture rooms and laboratories for practical work in 
Physics and Biology. The observatory contains a five-inch equatorial refracting telescope, transit 
instrument, sextant, etc. 

The College Library contains over twelve thousand volumns, and valuable additions are annually 
made by donations and purchases. The books are free to the students. 

Two Literary Societies, with elegantly furnished halls, afford every opportunity for literary and 
oratorical exercises. 

The College Y. M. C A. and churches of most every denomination give the students rare privileges 
for Christian training. 

For information or catalogue apply to 

R. E. BLACKWELL, President, 

WM. S. BROWN, Secretary and Treasurer.

Site of the birth-place of Henry Clay, six miles from 
Randolph-Maoon College. The original house stood in 
the cluster of trees shown in the right of the picture. 

Henry Clay, after moving to Kentucky, named his 
home there after "Ashland," the present location of 
Randolph-Macon College. 











Site of home of Patrick Heniy, fourteen miles from 
Randolph-Macon College. The original house was ap- 
proached by an avenue of locust trees, one of which is 
shown near the new building. 



Hanover Court House 

It was in this old court house that the famous 'Parson Case" was tried when 
Patrick Henry, in attacking George Til. for vetoing the laws passed by the Virgini:i 
Burgesses, thrilled the country by declaring that "a king who annulled and disal- 
lowed laws of so salutary a nature, instead of being the father of his people , degen- 
erated into a tyrant and forfeited all right to obedience,"— words that were' the 
prelude of the Revolution. 

This court house, seven miles from Randolph-Macon College, is still the county 
seat of Hanover. 



POINTS OF HISTORIC INTEREST

Site of birth-place of Patrick Henry, fifteen miles from

clusters of magnolias. One of these groups of trees stood 
in the lower right hand corner of the picture. This clus- 
ter of trees died. The house faced southwest.
